Thought for the week February 14th 2016

The thing about museums is that you can wander in and no-one bothers you. But the Church is not the custodian of ancient exhibits and sacred relics…but a living force for God...where all the wounded can come for healing. The Church is there to make a difference - to be an agent of rebirth and reconciliation - not simply to cling by the fingertips to the fading memories of past glories.
